flower down to the present time The
main building, the art gallery. the agri-
cultural hall, the dairy department. and
even the turnstileS were closed; the
lunch counters looked tired, and the
numerous takers were having their for;
tunes told by Nine. PaZoo. She ap-
peared to be the only person OH the
grounds doing any business, and she,
or rather her dOor-tender, Nine. GIFTS
worth, raked in the shekels right mer-
rily. A ny &c, called the Japanese
swing, maze IT'S appearance, and at
tracted = nearly all the people on
the grounds to it. Old fair
goers declared that it was
the dulleSt Sunday ever known
in the history of the fair. The only
noise that could disturb the religious
meditatiOnS of the most piouS man in
existence came from the poultry depart
ment, where the various kinds of poui-
try kept up their interminabie racket
with even more than their usual vigor.
The machinery department showed
some little life yesterday which was
manifested by decorating all the an
neXes with flags and bunting, the work
of NJ. RoSelle, who has, by the
way become great judge of horSe-fesh.
Assistant Supt. Rodgers said: Every
thing is being put in good
shape for tOmOrrOw's opening. a num-
Der of new connections are being made,
as well as some necessary repairs. Con-
siderable machinery yet remains to be
placed in position to run, but by hard
work we hope to be fixed so that every
thing will move off in good shape at 9
O'Clock tomorrow.
Among the stuff received by that de-
partment yesterday were cookie ma
chimes, rotary pumps, cistern ex-
hausterS and various kinds of moving
and reaping machines.

Der of important additions Yesterday

Among the fine draft horses brought
in yesterday by Gallraith Bros. of James
vile, Wis, were twenty-eight Clydes-
dales, Shires and Hackheys. The two
Shires, Bucksten and Correcticuse. are
magnificent specimens of that breed.
They stand seventeen hands high and
weigh $500 pounds each; dark chestnut
in color, with Silyered tails and names,
more magnificent pieces of horSeflesh
would indeed be hard to find. Besides
these attractions, the same firm has a
Hackney named The Leading Article,
and he certainly does lead the horse ex-
hibit in many ways. Leonard johnson,
of Mortified, arrived last evening
with herd of forty-three Percherous
and ten French coach horses.
Something like seventy-five head were
added to the cattle department yester-
day. Fowler & Van Malta, of Fowler,
|. Ind, entered fourteen HerefOrds, of
which the imported bull, Fowler, is the
most striking of the lot This monster
weighs 1900 pounds, is dark brown in
color, and is, in short, a true Hereford.
J. w. Morse d. Son. of Verona, Dane
county, Wis, arrived with twelve Dew
onshires, of which the bull, Anchorage,
is the finest specimen. His weight is
1,S00, and he is but two-year-old. San
born q Caswell brought in drove of
Short-horns and large number of
Poland China pigs. S. A. Converse, of
CreSco, To-, nine red polled NorfolkS.
ANOTHER BLIND PIG.
The blind pig continues to make him
self numerous around certain parts of
the fair grounds, and there was no ne
cessity for certain ones on 1.-THE inside"
to remain thirsty long after their ar
rival on the grounds. The animal was
rather shy yesterday and moved around
considerably. His first stamping ground
was in the depression between the
grand stand and the depot, in a tent
near the famous Nine. Pazoo. From
here the animal wandered up to the
grand stand, and finally, not far from
where the one was pulled Saturday, a
permanent location was taken up and
many weary arrival was invigorated
and refreshed from the TASKS that filled
every pocket of the blind pig.
The dining hall is giving perfect sat-
isfaction, and is showing that good
meal can be furnished at all hours for
so cents. Nearly 700 people can be
seated within the capacious building,
and forty-fve attractive young ladies
| make up the list of walters. The pat
ronage SO far has been remarkably
good; even yesterday, when so few peo-
pie were on the grounds, several hun
dred were fed. The management is en-
titled to some praise for the way in
which everything is moving along.
A feature of this years fair is the ex-
hibit of the newspapers of the state.
Secretary Todd has collected every issue
of the state papers in which notices of
the fair were published. The list num-
berS 243, exclusive of the dailies, which
are also on file. The cases in which the
files are kept are the ones used for filing
away the papers of Minnesota at;fife
